Northallerton College was formerly known as Northallerton Grammar School, it was founded in 1323. Parts of the old school building can be seen adjacent to All Saints' Church near the north end of Northallerton High Street.
In 1994 the School governors decided to change the name from Grammar School to College in order to better reflect the reality of their service to the whole community.
